Gringo the Laurels

[morgaina]

Was listening to Fiona Ritchie on Thistle & Shamrock this evening. She said that "Green Grow the Laurels" was very first popular in Celtic lands, then became very popular in the Southern States and especially sung a lot in Texas. It was sung so much that the people singing it began to be refered to as uh..."Greengos".
She doesn't cite her documentation, so take it as it's worth but...heh heh heh heh
